IDAHO WORLD.

The people of this place were
greatly surprised Wednesday morn
ing when Sheriff Havird arrived
here from Garden Valley with
Louie Suhlsen under arrest charged
with the murder of Thos. Murray,
who was found dead near Emmett
about the first of last July, with a
bullet hole through his body and
another through the head. The
verdict of the coroner's jury was
suicide. After the body was buried
it was remembered that the young
man had money when he left home,
and so the body was taken up, and
the amount he had when he left
home was found in his pockets.
This exploded the theory that some
held to-that the young men had
been murdered for his money. lie
had been dead several days when
the body was found. A great many
believe that Murray shot himself
through the body, accidentally, and
after suffering and waiting for somc
one to come along, finally gave up
all hope, and to end his misery shot
himself through the head. The
body was found at a spring, andhis
horse, with saddle on, was found
near by. The horse was tied "head
to foot"-that is, the rope around
the horses neck was brought around
and tied to one foot, so that he
could not get away. We are in
formed that the young mans faith
er, not believing that Thomas COM
mitted suicide, sent for a detective
who has been in that section about
two months. Rumor says that VIM.
Schramm, of Shafer Creek, and an
Indian on Squaw Creek, known as
'Indian Jake" who was taken by
the whites in the early days Of the
county, and raised by them, and
boy employed as herder for the In
dian, are also arrested for the MUIR
der. Louie Suhlsen is sixteen or
cvcnteen years of age, and is the
youngest child of John Suhlsen, an
old and respected citizen of this
place. Louie was born and raised
in this town, and there is no one
here who believes that he is guilty;
nor do they believe that Schramm,
who is an old resident of the coun-
ty, could be gully of such deed.
Sheriff Havird took Louie down to
Boise City Wednesday.

er with Charles Brown, an hour or
so previous, in slough near the
house. He had been a witness of
the entire heartrending scene. 1t
seems that the two girls strolled out
Sunday afternoon for walk to-
wards the river, and Lot Brown, or
Charlie Martin, as he is more fa-
miliarly known met them and pro-
posed boat ride in the slough.
After some demurring the girls con-
sented. The boat is an old affair
and has q big crack in the stern
AS soon as they were well into the
water it was discovered that it leak
ed badly and one of the girls tried
to shift her position in order to
throw the stern out of the water
and thus stop the leak. This move
ment careened the boat and its oc-
cupants were thrown into the water.
The boat turned bottom up and
Brown as soon as he arose caught
it and clambered up on the middle.
Annie, the eldest of the two girls,
was flung quite distance from the
boat, and could not reach it. The
man on the bank called out to her
to swim and instructed her how to
use her hands. This kept her ahoat
for some four or five minutes.
Meanwhile the other girl had risen
near the boat and was floating just
at the surface of the water. The
man told Brown to catch her as she
drifted by and help her on the boat.
In doing this, Brown slid down to-
wards the bow and when he tried to
lift her up the boat tipped and both
fell into the waetr. Brown rose
again and caught the edge of the
boat, but as Amelia sank for the
last time, she seized his foot and
dragged him under. They did not
raise again. Annie had kept her.
self ahoat all this time, and the
man on the bank, who is stran-
ger, and whose name we did not
learn, was making an effort to
reach her with rope.
"Don't mind me-" she ciied, "but
save my sister and Brown"
The man replied that he could
not do it; that they were already
drowning. At this her head fell
forward into the water and she
ceased struggling. Her body drift
ed closer to shore and the man
waded out to her and brought her
to shore. She was quite dead.
Search for the bodies of Amelia and
Brown was maintained during the
night. The latter's body was found
little after 5 o'clock Monday
morning, the grab hook entering his
cheek and lacerating it consider
ably. He was buried that morn
ing in the graveyard at this place.
The body of the girl was dragged
up about noon.

WAR ON THE SALOONS.
The Bitter Fight Waged by the La
 dies of Scranton.

The weather was as cold as ice water, and a driving snowstorm prevailed at the opening of court, but it did not deter tho members of the Womens Christian Temperance Union and their numerous friends, comprising hundreds of ladies, young and old, of the best families in Scranton, from marching to the courtroom in body to back up their remonstrances against the license system by personal pro- test. The ladies were covered with snow when they entered the ample corridor of the Court House, but they were in jnbilant spirits, as they felt that their numerously signed remon- strances had 'snowed under" the liquor traffic of Scranton, and they awaited the legal battle with eager interest. The liquor sellers were also well represented, both personally and by counsel
 Archibald were on the bench, and the court room was crowded with spectators when the fair procession entered the place. Judge Archi- bald took up the long license list of 374 names and proceeded to consider the cases in detail. The various districts were taken up alphabet lcally, and with but few exceptions numerously signed remonstrances submitted against all the applications The anti-license side of the case was vigorously presented in behalf of the ladies by several able lawyers.
 Such out.of-town places as were not remon- strated against had their licenses granted, but the tug of war came when the city of Scranton was reached The ladies have demonstrated against every hotel in Scranton, from the high est to the lowest, and 1t will take some time before the matter is disposed of, as neither side will let single point go uncontested. One attorney made light of the names on 8 remon- strance against his client and said the signers were women and persons who did not own property. MT. Hawley promptly replied ''They would own property were it not for the rum holes." This called forth 8 heavy burst of applause from the ladies, which lasted sev- eral seconds. The various cases were in pro- gress all day, and the excitement of the court room has extended to the entire community.

TRYING TO CUT LEVEES. Interruptions Swampers Who Want
 an OVerf1Ow-A Scheme.

Within fortnight two attempts have been made to cut the levees on the Mississippi River. At Laconia Circle negro was canght in the act and lodged in jail, although some disposi- tion was shown to lynch him. At 'Possum Fork Levee, one of the most important on the river front commanding, as 1t does, the wholo of the Tensar Basin of Louisiana party of men made desperate effort to cut the levee, but were repulsed by the guards, who opened fire upon them, a small battle ensuing. The guards have been doubled in consequence, and armed with Winchester rifles, and warning has been given that any one who attempts yio- lence on the dykes will be shot.
 During several weeks in February and March all the important stretches on the weir are guarded, night and day, by armed bodies of men. This is necessary to protect the levees from maurauders, number of persons arc interested in causing an overflow. One of the greatest disa> ters in the lower Mississippi val levee, which devastated for years eight of the richest parishes of Louisiana, was due to the cutting of the levee by swampers, who wanted water in the interi r streams in order to float their logs down to the sawmills. In the last few years several attempts have been made to cut the dykes, sometimes by swampers and again by the people on ons side of the river to cut the levees opposite, with the idea to relieve the pressure on their own dykes. The most singular of theso attempts was that of negro caught, at midnight two years ago. cutting. a levee in the upper part of New Orleans with the intention of cutting crevasse that would have flooded the greater part of the city. When arrested he said that he was tired of work and wanted an overflow, as the Government would then distribute rations.

DENOUNCED AS A FORGERY.
Emphatic Denials that the Alleged
 ParnelI Letter Is Genuine.

The alleged letter of MT. Parnel, supposed to have been addressed to Mr. Egan relative to the Phoenix Park murders, which the London Times published, has caused immense excite ment among all parties. The lobby of the House of Commons was crowded with members the next evening eagerly discussing the letter. The Irish members indignantly declare it to be a forgery. The sensation has been so great that the specially large edition issued to meet the expected demand proved insufficient. The Times exposed special bulletins calling atten- ton to the letter, and sent extra supplies to the railway news agents and to the bookstalls.
 MT. Parnell categorically denies that he wrote the letter. The editor of the Times will be summoned to the bar of the Honse of Com. mons to explain the authorship of the letter.
 In an interview Mr. Clancy, (Parnellite, ) member for Dublin County, branded the letter as an infamous concoction, and declared that it bears internal evidence of forgery. He said also that suspicion was already directed against 8 certain person as the forger. An Irish mcm- Der of Parliament has departed for Dublin to uted to Mr. Parnell with that of the person suspected.
 The Parnellites all declare the letter all in- famous concoction and 8 deliberate invention publicly to islander the leader of the Home Rule party. They say that even on the low the last man in the world to write 8 letter con- taining such damning admissions. They coll tend, therefore, that all the reason in the case proves the letter to be a forgery on the face of it, pointing for proof to the contents of the document, especially to the writer's warning the person to whom the letter purported to be written not to disclose the address, while no address is given. The fact that the signature is the only part of the letter in Mr. Parnell's writing is by itself, the home rulers argue, a proof that the whole thing is fraud, as ac- cording to them, while it would be difficult to obtain enough specimens of MT. Parnells handwriting to enable forger to initiate it to the extent necessary to palm off a whole letter successfully as his, it is not at all difficult to obtain his signature.

MAN AND STEER DEAD.
Terrific Fight Between a Farmer
 and a Mad Brute.

r. w. Flowerdew 8 farmer living alone many miles west of Lincoln, Neb, was out the other morning in the field stepping off DOT ton to plough, when he noticed range steer about half mile distant. He went on with the measurement, but presently hearing some thing approach, turned and saw the steer com ing at him, full speed, head down and about twenty yards away. Mir. Flowerdew was not armed, and his only way to avoid being struck by the first charge was to dodge it, which he did. The steer turned and came again, but with not so much force, and Flowerdew suc- ceeded in getting his right hand into his nos trils. Here the battle began between man and beast. To one it meant life or death, to the other 1t made no difference. For area they had 200 square miles of open plain, i'll the cen form boundary of the scene of action. No Caesar was there to crown the victor, and no ampitheatre in Roman grandeur to applaud The nose was the best place Flowerdew could have got hold of the nladdened brute, and backward and forward they struggled The steer was three years old, and, as Flowerdew is a large and powerful man, it made nearly equal fight. For nearly half an hour they struggled. All the while Flowerdew was work ing his way toward the house, in front of which he secured heavy club, and commence ed to pound the steer over the head and nose. This the brute stood and suffered, but the minute the pounding stopped the brute charg- cd and had to be beaten off. The last desper- ate charge made by the steer knocked Flower dew to the ground. Although the animal was tim horribly Flowerdew's injuries were al- most instantly fatal The steer, from the loss of blood and exhaustion, fell dead at his side

 q have been troubled with rheumatism for several years. This spring had very severe attack of inflammatory rheumatism and was compelled to leave my train I suffered in tense pain. My arm and hand were badly swollen and infiamed. I took various kinds of medicine, but obtained no relief. I was urged to try Dr. Pardee's Remedy, but it was with great reluctance that 1 did so, as l had no faith whatever ill it. But am fully con- vinced from personal experience that it is a positive cure for this dreaded disease, and can recommend it as Q remedy worthy the confidence of all. Am feeling better than have for ten years, and attribute it all to Dr. Pardee's Rheumatic Remedy"
